Fall 2023 - Really funny and nice guy, the most helpful teacher on campus and 50% of the grade are homework and attendance. Gives review sessions before tests which are really helpful through the test are not easy to say. Weekly graded homework which may take some time through, however it is easy to get 100% on that and it is like half of your grade. Definity 5/5 class and would gladly take again.

Winter 2025 - Deifel is an interesting professor. Firstly, he’s very caring professor who cares about your chemistry learning and is quite a fun guy. He’s willing to really help his students. He is probably one of the most disorganized professors I have (had him twice). He is really bad with deadlines, class organization and just providing a structure to a class. His lectures are okay but pretty disorganized and half him talking about his inorganic background and half talking about random stuff in lecture. This class is pretty much just TLC and extraction. I would suggest when going to lecture, writing down the things that he says will definitely be on the final and writing down the things he repeats as those are the important takeaways he will probably put on the final. The assignments (postlabs/prelabs) are graded by the TAs and can be a mixed bag depending on who is grading your lab assignment. The final exam is pretty fair for the most part, he tells you what kind of questions he will probably ask. In terms of Lab period, the TAs will absolutely carry your lab experience, your TA will probably be the one who teaches you what you need to know specifically about the lab and how to answer certain questions on the post/pre labs. If you get the goat TA Ben Janda, you are in good hands.
